Product Description
This book provides a detailed look at the triumphs and difficulties faced by this great composer, both personal and professional, not often revealed in other sources. This book is noteworthy in that a detailed study of the First Piano Concerto in F No. minor, Op. 1, is included. Applying quantitative analysis as a fundamental approach, this study demonstrates that Rachmaninoff's writing (including the orchestrations) tended toward thinner, more transparent textures, as his style continued to evolve. For the Rachmaninoff enthusiast, this book serves as a convenient source of readings on a variety of topics. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Sergei Rachmaninoff," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Sergei Rachmaninoff in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Sergei Rachmaninoff when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Sergei Rachmaninoff, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Very pleased with Rachmaninoff concertos
I have always loved this music and when I saw that the first three concertos were available for this very low price, I jumped at the opportunity. It took a little time to get to me, but the day I received it I was able to play some of my favorite sections which was very satisfying.The music is very legible and the book is well bound with laminated cover. On every page there are normally 3-4 of the 4-handed staves that show what both the solo and orchestral reduction pianos are doing. Although it will probably be a few years before I can really play one of the movements up to speed, I am very happy with this purchase. ... Read more
